I live near Dunfermline and was looking for a hotel for the evening to escape an 18th birthday party at home. Balmule House, what a find. I'd been expecting to end up in one of the typical in-town hotels, but instead enjoyed the fantastic setting, decor, room, food and service of Balmule House. We stayed in the Yellow Room, with...

We stayed three nights at the Balmule House during our trip to Scotland, and loved it. The common rooms on the ground floor were superb and tastefully decorated, we had a large bedroom with views of the garden and the surrounding area, the bathrooms were top notch, and the shower in one of the bathrooms was one of the nicest...

Over the past couple of years we've stayed at many hotels for various reasons and I haven't bothered to leave reviews as our stays were pleasant enough and didn't warrant either good or bad reviews but I felt I had to leave a review of Balmule House as it was one of the best places we have stayed in.

Sadly we only stayed one night at the Balmule, but after our stay, we wished it could have been much longer, and the next time we go, it will definitely be for more than one night. The room we had was the 'Yellow room', and even though we had checked out the hotel on the Hotels own website, the pictures... More

We had such a great time, relaxing stay, and fun in the area before we've now been back again. We had planned to explore a wider area from Balmule House this trip, so with their expert local advise we went to St. Andrews, a fabulous seafood restaurant, waterside in South Queensferry at the foot of the Forth Bridge, and into...

Balmule House is exceptional throughout and the host, Franc, could not do more from arrival to departure. The decor and furnishings are superb. Luxurious accommodation in a beautiful setting. Hope to stay longer next time.

We stayed for a week in late May at the Balmule House on a whim based on articles we've seen on the restoration. All we can say is triple-WOW; lovingly detailed restorations, careful decoration to the proper standards, fabulously comfortable rooms and lounges -- a real period place gem. We took long walks around the grounds, down to the river,... More

The nicest B&B that we have stayed in. Very lovely house exquisitely remodelled (featured in several decorating and design magazines), great views and very gracious hosts. Large beautiful ensuite bathrooms and very comfortable beds. Wonderful collection of art to admire and a great drawing room in which to retire to. It is situated in a quiet country setting with great... More

Balmule is such a lovely place, we found it though a friend who had stayed there and it was a real surprise to find such a place hidden away on the outskirts of Dunfermline. The house has been renovated to a very high standard, with no expense spared, big comfy beds with each room being different. The hosts Robert and... More
